APOGEE CENTAUR MAJOR VS B&W MATRIX801S2 WHICH IS T

I'd go for the B&W just for the simple fact of better build quality and ruggedness. Arguably more punch and dynamics. However, that ribbon tweeter is hard to beat!

Dont shout!!

Before you buy either speaker, you really have to listen to them. I had the B&W's, but mine were the S3's. You couldn't pay me to listen to those things. You can do so much better for a lot less money. I don't have an exact date, but the S2's are from the 80's. I don't have as much experience with the Apogee, but its a ribbon. People either love them or hate them.

If it were me, I would look elsewhere. Speakers have come such a long way since both of those speakers were in production, that there's no reason to have to put up with the flaws of either one.

Yeah, I agree. Look for a more current speaker.

this is one irresponsible statement. Looks to me that you don't know what you are talking about.....
